Hello,
I think something is inconsistent between the code that parses -e and
-y options in ssh-keygen.
This command:
ssh-keygen -ef key_file
...will never prompt for a passphrase; however, this one:
ssh-keygen -yf key_file
...will prompt for it, despite that it returns basically the same
information as -e (in a slightly different format).
Or am I missing something? I didn?t see anything on the man page to
indicate a rationale for this.
-F
